I have had a good day. I am getting ready for bed and i am happy that my friends are like my family. My devo was a good one today.
I will post more soon…
GRACE!!!
Need I say more. Genesis 6:8-10. Noah found Grace in the eyes of the lord. Not that Noah was the only one that God showed his grace to. It was the fact every one had 120 years(Genesis6:3) and Noah was the only one who found it.
Look at other religions and philosophies and you have to work or do good deeds in order to earn blessings or find favor from their gods. But with Biblical Christianity grace is given to those who call on the name of the Lord. Wow. Grace
Where are you today? Have you found Grace? I have and it is yours to have just call out to Jesus and ask him to be your Lord and savior from your sins.
So as I was reading in Genesis 6: 1&2 I was reminded that the days of Noah will be like the days when the coming of the son of man. These two verse stand out because they say that as the men began to multiply and fell the earth that the sons of God and the daughters of men became husband and wife’s.
There are a few camps on this issue so here are a couple.
One- that the fallen angles where shacking up with the humans on earth.
Two- that the sons of Seth where marring the daughters of Cain.
Now Genesis 6:3 talks about how God saw what was going on and chose to limit the days of man to 120 years. Many people believe this verse to mean that our life span cant pass 120 but if you look deeper into what is going on in this verse God was putting a limit to how long he will give us to chose to have a relationship with him.
Think about it if wont chose God by 120 years then you will probley not going to chose God. We are really close to the point when Noah’s days and ours are starting to look alike.
One- believers are marring non-believers.
Two- Christians are having sex before marriage as if it is not against Gods law.
Three- it is believed that the population in Noah’s day was about 3,220,000,000. Now our population is twice that amount. We are to a point in our world where we will have no more room.
If you don’t know what it was like in the days of Noah then read your Bible and then look around to see if you see any similarities. I know that for me and my family we are not looking down we are spending these days getting ready for the coming of our king.
So I am taken back by how God used the names to lay out the Good News of Christ. Look with me at a few names.
Adam-man
Seth- appointed
Enos- Subject to death
Cainan- sorrowful
Mahalaleel- from the presence of God
Jared- one comes down
Enoch- dedicated
Methuselah- dying, He shall send
Lamech- to the poor and lowly
Noah- rest and comfort
So ten names beginning from a man that brings death into the world all the way to a man bringing rest and comfort. Take a look at the meanings of their names.
The man appointed to death, sorrowful. From the presence of God, One comes down, dedicated. Dying, He shall send to the poor and lowly rest and comfort.
Jesus came to bring rest and comfort to the poor and lowly. He is the one who died so that we may find the rest in him. I chose him and the Good News of Christ to find my rest and comfort.
